Liebherr freezers fit three different jobs. Undercounter models slip beneath a counter, 24-inch uprights give you a tall freezer in a small footprint, and Monolith columns pair with a matching refrigerator column for a built-in wall. Most are panel ready, which means you can add a custom cabinet panel so the freezer disappears into the kitchen.

This guide compares six Liebherr freezers using the details on each product page. For help with sizing and installation, see our guide to column freezers, or browse all Liebherr freezers.

Undercounter, Upright or Column?

Undercounter freezers hold 2.5 to 2.8 cu. ft. and fit under a counter. Uprights like the SIF5181 and SF5291 hold 7.5 to 9.8 cu. ft. in a 24-inch width. Column freezers use the full height of the wall and go up to 18.9 cu. ft. in the 36-inch MF3651R.

  • Undercounter: UF3651, UF501
  • Upright: SIF5181, SF5291
  • Column: MF1851, MF3651R

Panel Ready Fronts

Panel-ready freezers accept a custom cabinet panel that you supply, so the freezer matches your cabinets. The UF3651, UF501, SIF5181, MF1851 and MF3651R list panel-ready fronts. The SF5291 comes in stainless steel and does not accept custom panels.

Hinge Side Matters

Check the hinge side before you order. The MF1851 has a left hinge and the MF1851R has a right hinge, and neither door is reversible. The UF3651, UF501 and SIF5181 list reversible doors. If you pair a freezer with a refrigerator column, the doors usually open away from each other. See our Liebherr refrigerators guide for matching columns.
